The Yazidids (Arabic: بنو يزيد, romanized: Bānū Yāzīd) or Mazyadids (after their ancestor Mazyad al-Shaybani) or Shaybanids (after Banu Shayban), were an Arab family what came to rule over the region of Shirvan (in Azerbaijan) in the mid 9th century. Starting from Haytham ibn Khalid's assumption of the ancient Iranian title of Shirvanshah in 861, they practically broke free of Abbasid control and was therefore out of scope for most chroniclers of the Caliphate.[1]
